My son wants to join the Arfcom ranks but only has a Gmail account. He only has access to those type of email providers. What else could be done to get around this. He wants a subscription for Christmas so that was one of the presents I am going to get him.

I use Hotmail for my account membership and I have no problems renewing. Has it changed? I looked at the Terms and Conditions and on the memberships in the online store and didn't see where the email address is specified... unless it changed from when I signed up.

Can you set him up with an email account on an accepted provider.  After an account is registered gmail etc can be used, but at this time they are not accepted for initial registration.

Could I put it under my .mil account and then change it? Or will it flag it because that what my Arfcom account is tied to?

For multiple reasons that won't work.

He doesn't have an ISP based email address or a .edu?

Not yet. He is going into the Marines in January so he will have one after boot camp. His highschool.edu address went away when he graduated this year.
